JOHANNES WINKLER
* 1984, Blackforest, is a german media artist, contemporary music composer [dipl.], concept developer and cultural ambassador. He lives and works in Essen.
Since 2017 he has been re-composing his wide ranging work in slide compositions and lecture formats - as transmedial narratives along moving images, contemporary music, text, software and experience.
Winkler has won the international sound art prize 'Karl Marx' (BCMG, UK), the ZKM Supercollider Code Marathon and is the initiator and lecturer of the South-Indian/-German Network Konnakol Germany. With his numerous slide compositions on Instagram-Accounts (complete oeuvre on: @winkler.works + augmented 3D Score here), he influences his future works: Portrait in WDR 3 Radio Studio Contemporary Music. Recently he is inventor and transmedial-vibrational element of the 'B.O.R. BACK Oscillator'. In march 2023 Winkler started his youtube podcast deconstructed.stories where he re-composes his modular slide-oeuvre (+ some interesting feeds from collegues and followers are presented there, too).

SLIDE COMPOSITIONS
In 2019, Winkler began re-composing his oeuvre as audiovisual 'slide compositions' on social media (Instagram). Each post represents a multi-page work and is telling, documenting, anticipating - about the cybernetic everyday, metaphysics and aesthetics: people and art - people and numbers - people and nature - people and people. A transmedial narrative emerges along autobiographical points in time, streams and archives - in an interplay with presence formats.
Uninspired and inspired by Instagram, Winkler developed 'Maxgram' in 2022, a tool for his lecture performances: an interactive, independent 'feed' offline presentation environment (programmed in MAX/MSP), which only uses the visual 3x3 feed-grid approach from Instagram. There are no followers, ranking algorithms or likes, so the focus relies more on content [See: Maxgram's birthday video]
All 150+ compositions can be seen in full on Instagram:

In order to keep them alive, the 'slide compositions' are deconstructed again in different contexts: e.g. in presence lectures (see below) and on different plattforms ...

about the podcast
deconstructed.stories is the new free youtube video-podcast (better: "postcast-") format by composer & media-artist Johannes Winkler (Essen, NRW, Germany) - about music, art, love, swiping machines ... our contemporary life. Re-composing his slide-composition oeuvre and insights into works of benevolent followers. Winkler presents the podcast via his software 'Maxgram': "a 'maximized Instagram' (written in Max) - with transmedial social features."

If you want to sponsor the podcast, I will present your service/product - either with links on top of the video-description or as a personal statement at the end/beginning of the video. BUT: I will never ever present your "platin garden grill" just for the money itself - even if you offer me 10.000 EUR. The only chance for this to happen would be to de-functionalize/deconstruct this ad as ad, which seems to be impossible these days - I don't know any of such attempts that has reached the domain of free beauty: Even the most creative ad still smells like an ad. But it is such a nice paradox ... and the world is full of possibilities. I'm sure there are even several solutions for this ... maybe you just start supporting my channel via patreon here (consider there the membership-tier: "embracing future: 99 EUR/months") - without any reference to your "platin garden grill"? Maybe by this way, we really become friends, and you could invite me to a garden party at some day ... and suddenly ...
But if you are an institution, start-up or engaging person I know well and respect (we also might already have worked together), I would be very happy to welcome you as a sponsor :-) - just write me an email

Advanced Carnatic-Rhythm Transfers: Researching & Teaching - Out of Germany, Essen
Infos, videos, team, backgrounds, course dates:
www.konnakol.de
Since 2018, our growing team of experienced southindian and german artists is teaching & researching advanced techniques of counting musical time-structures ('Konnakol' / 'carnatic rhythm'). Inspired also by Rafael Reina's PhD thesis (2014) about the application of special southindian-carnatic rhythm-techniques to the incorporation and creation of complex western (contemporary) music, we developed a course module-system with various contents specialized for typical needs of western musicians, composers, conductors, dancers and music-pedagogues aimed at students/professionals and step-by-step courses for beginners.
We are also working with time-relations between body, mind and software ('Digitus Manus - Digital Counting') and offer a docking station for language- and speech research (neuropsycholinguistics, speechtherapy).
